Differences between a Desktop PC and a server processor


In computer science principles there was no specialization. We simply wanted a processor to serve any type of task and to do it as quickly as possible. However, over the years this has changed and it is increasingly clear that there are different markets depending on user requirements.




What does a processor need for a desktop PC?

In essence, a user of this type of processor usually works with several open applications, but what he wants is for the operating system to respond as quickly as possible. Normally there is only one of them that is the important one and that is the one that we want to work at maximum performance.

It is, therefore, necessary that you are able to work with simple applications very quickly. If you look at its internal architecture you will see that they do not have to have a large number of cores inside or at least this should not be what decided the purchase. They also do not have multiprocessor support either in the micro or in the motherboard.


What does a processor need for a server?

When we talk about a server computer, we are referring for example to one capable of working with databases, offering us web pages, or providing files to several hundred if not thousands of PCs. In essence, a server computer provides service, as its name suggests, to many users. Neither of them is more important than the other.

The importance of power to work with a single task falls. We don't want Word to work fast or Auto cad to work properly, we want it to be able to perform many tasks at the same time. In this case, the number of cores is important, the more there will be able to serve more clients concurrently. So much so that prices soar.

Support in this case for multiprocessor is mandatory. By having more than one piece of equipment is able to function even if one of them is not in good condition. This, of course, causes the price of the plates and microphones to skyrocket.


Conclusions

In short, what can be good for one type of user, as we have seen in the increase in the number of cores, does not have to have the same value for other types of people.

Be careful with these kinds of things that can make you end up buying a much more expensive processor and not adapted to your needs.
